In Iran, the presidential election leads, unsurprisingly, to the announced victory of the ultra-conservative Ebrahim Raïssi.
After almost complete counting of the ballots, this one wins with a little more than 62% of the votes.
To analyze the ballot and what it suggests, Jean-Baptiste Marot is online with Clément Therme, associate researcher at the University Institute of Florence.
